Use of Rice Husk Ash in Concrete: Literature Review
Amorphous silica is best for the production of concrete. Rice husk contains about 75 % organic volatile matter and the balance 25% of the weight of this husk is converted into ash during the firing process, and is known as rice husk ash (RHA). This RHA in turn contains around 85% – 90% amorphous silica. So for every 1000 kgs of …

Rice Husk Ash
Rice husk needs to be converted into rice husk ash (RHA) for it to be used as a cement alternative or an additive in concrete production. The process requires husks to be burned at a temperature of 600-700 °C for two hours. Careful burning is crucial in order to achieve the right properties for creating good concrete.
